Besides those maintenance items specified in
the fixed "Service and Warranty Handbook",
there are other components which may require
servicing or replacement in the future.
CAUTION!
• Failure to properly maintain your vehicle or
perform repairs and service when necessary
could result in more costly repairs, damage to
other components or negatively impact ve-
hicle performance. Immediately have poten-
tial malfunctions examined by an authorized
dealer or qualified repair center.
• Your vehicle has been built with improved
fluids that protect the performance and
durability of your vehicle and also allow
extended maintenance intervals. Do not
use chemical flushes in these components
as the chemicals can damage your engine,
transmission, power steering or air condi-
tioning. Such damage is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. If a
flush is needed because of component
malfunction, use only the specified fluid for
the flushing procedure.

Engine Oil
Checking Oil Level — 3.6L Engine
To assure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil
must be maintained at the correct level. Check the
oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel stop.
The best time to check the engine oil level is about
five minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground
will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings.
Maintain the oil level between the MIN and MAX
markings on the dipstick. Adding 1.0 qt (1.0 L) of oil
when the reading is at the MIN mark will result in a
MAX reading on these engines.
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aera-
tion or loss of oil pressure. This could dam-
age your engine.
Checking Oil Level — 5.7L Engine
To assure proper engine lubrication, the engine
oil must be maintained at the correct level.
Check the oil level at regular intervals, such as
every fuel stop. The best time to check the
engine oil level is about five minutes after a fully
warmed engine is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level
readings. Maintain the oil level in the "SAFE"
range. Adding 1.0 qt (1.0 L) of oil when the
reading is at the bottom of the "SAFE" range will
result in an oil level at the top of the "SAFE"
range on these engines.
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aera-
tion or loss of oil pressure. This could dam-
age your engine.
Change Engine Oil
Refer to "Service and Warranty Handbook" for
